"Why isn't Amari answering her phone?" Issa asked as he paced back and forth around the hospital room. It was his 4th time calling her and he was getting worried
"Baby, I'll be fine. Go find Amari." Latavia spoke as she laid on the bed
"But I can't leave yo-"
"Issa, go find our fucking daughter! I'll be fine. I'm here with YN. I'll have her record it."
Issa huffed and nodded before walking over and kissing her "I'll try to make it back as soon as possible."
"I know baby. I love you."
"I love you more." He kissed her one more time before walking out of the room
••••••••••••••••
It took Issa 10 minutes to make it from the hospital to the house. He hopped out of the car and jogged up to the door. He twisted the door and the door opened.
"Amari!" He called out. He knew she was here since her bag was sitting right in front of the door
He jogged upstairs checking her room and knocking on her bathroom door, receiving no answer
He jogged back down the steps and checked the kitchen. She wasn't there
He walked down the hall and knocked on the bathroom door. "Amari. Baby girl, are you in there?" He didn't get a response so he opened the door
His breath hitched as he saw the sight in front of him
"Amari!!" Issa rushed to his daughters lifeless body, taking her into his arms "No no no, please!" Issa sobbed as he saw the empty pill bottle beside her.
He grabbed his phone, dialing 911
"New York Police Department, what is your emergency?"
"M-my daughter isn't breathing! I think she tried to kill herself.."
"Alright sir. What's your address?"
Issa gave them the address as he held Amari close to him
"Alright sir, help is on the way."
Issa hung up, looking down at Amari "Why baby? Why?" He whispered, stroking her hair.
10 minutes later he heard banging at the door. He softly laid Amari down before getting up and opening the door
"She's in the bathroom. Last door on the right." Issa explained as the police and the paramedics rushed into the house with a gurney. He couldn't help the tears coming down his face as the police tried to assure him that his babygirl was going to be okay
"We got a pulse!!" Issa heard one of the paramedics yell has they wheeled Amari out of the bathroom on the gurney.
"Alright, get her on the Ambulance right now!"
Issa grabbed Amari's hand as they made their way out of the house. The paramedics put Amari on the truck first before helping Issa in behind them.
The whole way there, he never let go of Amari's hand
—————————————
"Ugh, come on Issa!" Latavia muttered to herself as she was now dilated 5 cm
"Latavia.." YN walked back into the room from taking a phone call.. Latavia looked at YN as YN quickly wiped the tear away from her eye
"What's wrong?" Latavia asked confused as YN walked by her side grabbing her hand
"Um, Issa just called me and told me that Amari has been rushed to the hospital... She tried to kill herself.." She slowly stated
Latavia just stared at her as it felt like she just lost all the oxygen in her body "Are you serious?? You can't be fucking serious!!! I can't have this baby yet!" Latavia started to sob as she tried to climb out of the bed. YN grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back down into the bed
"Latavia cal-"
"Calm down?!?! My fucking child is in the hospital!! I can't fucking calm down! And I can't have my baby right now, YN I can't!!" She screamed as more tears fell down as she struggled to get out of YN's hold
"I know, but Latavia to have to calm down! We don't want anything to happen to the baby.. I promise I will let you know when I hear something okay?" YN explained, trying to calm her down, which worked
Latavia slowly nodded, while taking deep breaths

•Issa's POV•
I sat in the hospital room, staring at my daughter. Tubes all around her. I couldn't help but to feel like a bad ass father. I was too busy doing what the fuck I was doing to notice that my damn child was suicidal!!
"How are you holding up, Mr. Thompson?" The nurse ask
"How do you think I'm holding up?" I spat "My daughter is in here fighting for her life while my fucking wife is giving birth to my son.." I chuckled, sarcastically
I prayed the whole time here. If my daughter doesn't make it then I know for sure there is no god..
•The next day•
"Xavier La'Tae Thompson" Latavia slightly smiled as she held her newborn son in one hand and the phone in the other. She was on FaceTime with Issa
"Wow.." Issa wiped his tired, red eyes. He haven't slept all night, too worried about his two favorite girls and favorite boy in the world "He's so handsome."
Latavia sniffed and nodded "He is isn't he?"
"I'm so sorry I wasn-"
"Don't apologize. I rather you be by our daughters side. She needs you the most. And besides, Jacob recorded everything. He was grossed out the whole time, but he got the job done." Latavia chuckled
"Oh god, y'all made Jacob do it?" Issa laughed
"Yes. I wanted YN by my side the entire time so she forced him to do it.." Latavia softly chuckled, shaking her head and looked down at their son. Tears started to swell in her eyes as she tried to rid the terrible thoughts of her daughter out of her head.
She's fine, sissy is going to fine bubba.. She whispered, softly stroking his head filled with hair
Issa sensed the change in her mood and sighed
"Everyone wants to come down here and visit but they can't at the moment."
Latavia blinked away the tears that wanted to fall so bad. She sat staring at her son while still battling with herself trying to keep the negative thoughts away even after convincing herself that her daughter will be perfectly fine. She sat Xavier in his little bed, before laying back down. "How is my baby girl?" Latavia's voice cracked as the tears finally rolled down her face
"The same as yesterday.. Has a tube helping her breathe.."
"Issa.. How did we not notice this?" Latavia asked lowly "How did we not know that our daughter was struggling to the point where she wanted to end her life all together?!" She sniffed
"I asked myself that same question.. But I'll be up there soon. I just have to wait until I hear from the doctor."
"Okay baby. I love you."
"I love you more."
